Today is my 60th birthday, so I am now officially retired! Actually, my last day at work was yesterday, and my colleagues gave me flowers, wine, chocolate and took me out to lunch.
This is the first birthday I've ever had as a non Jehovahs Witness, and it feels very strange to be even acknowledging it, let alone celebrating. I am going out tomorrow evening with Trev, Linda and a few other fading or former JWs for a curry at a local restaraunt, which I'm very much looking forward to. Linda suggested it a few weeks ago, and I had the impression that there was only going to be her, Trev and a fader who helps write Trevs website there, but apparently there will be 12 of us, so it's going to be my first ever birthday party! I'm sure we will have a lovely evening, the first of many.
love
Marion
